As minimal as an 8-piece rack on an alpine ridge, our Ultralight Down Jacket supports ascent without excess. It features top-notch 800-fill-power premium European goose down and an ultralight nylon ripstop shell fabric that’s nearly half the weight and twice the strength of our other down shell fabrics. The sewn-through construction, tight channel pattern and just the right amount of down increase versatility for use in more moderate temperatures and diverse activities; a DWR (durable water repellent) finish sheds snow. A slim silhouette maximizes thermal efficiency and suits its ideal uses: belay jacket over light layers at shaded crags, minimalist summer alpine bivies and unmatched warmth layered under a shell. Pockets include two zippered handwarmers and one zippered chest. A drawcord hem keeps in the heat. Stuffsack included.

Features

The toughest, lightest-weight shell fabric we’ve ever used for down garments, with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish

I use this as a versatile climbing, layering, and all around piece. The slim fit is a longer cut (than the Down Sweater, for example). This allows it to go under your harness and stay under it while you move through climbs. It's also thin, so you not feel bulky and like you can't move. Great for layering with a rain jacket/outer shell for wind/water protection. This is also great just to wear around town as it doens't look too technical.

The Ultralight Down Jacket is a slim-fit style, whereas the regular Down Sweater has a regular fit. These do run a bit smaller, so you may need to size up unless you find the regular version to be slightly roomy.
